Co-Authors

Dr. Tim Hesterberg is a Senior Statistician at Google. That means old. Before that he
attempted jobs at an electric utility, in academia, and in software. At least he can
drive a forklift. He received his Ph.D. in Statistics from Stanford University, where
he played a lot of volleyball, got his B.A. in Math from St. Olaf College, where he
proved he can't sing, and claims he studied two years in Germany, but has nothing to
show for it.

He wrote Mathematical
Statistics with Resampling and R, Wiley (2011) with Laura Chihara of Carleton
College, and got her to do most of the work. He exploited two college students and
a high school teacher to write book chapters for teaching intro stats using
resampling, then added David Moore as a co-author so people would think it was
worth reading. He can't seem to stick to one thing; he's also written about streams
and earthquakes, electric demand forecasting, web traffic, clinical trials, display
ads, computer vision, and spiders walking around spaceships.

He runs or bikes to work. When he drives the accident rate in Seattle skyrockets.
He broke his toe at a Math contest.

He is a tree hugger, teaches kids to shoot rockets, make kerosene torches and set
rafts on fire, and has herded cats - I mean chaperoned high school students - to
set up computer labs in Guatemala, Ecuador, and Costa Rica with Technology Services Corps. His home
